OTHER SPACES INSTITUTE explores
CURATORIAL STRATEGIES FOR SITE-SPECIFIC INTERVENTIONS OF CONTEMPORARY ART
About
Other Spaces is an organisation which recognises a recent shift in the way we experience contemporary art, examining the significance of installations of art in unexpected places outside the museum and gallery.

Since the 1990s, Biennales have increasingly made demands on their host cities for ‘other spaces.’ The installation of contemporary art in historic buildings, residential, cultural, health, educational, religious, government and industrial spaces has drawn art into an active relationship with the space it inhabits, calling into question the primacy of galleries and museums as sites of encounter between the work and the world.

Other Spaces is based in London, Berlin and Helsinki and is involved in curating exhibitions, realising projects at the intersection of art and architecture, and maintaining a research institute exploring curatorial strategies for site-specific interventions of contemporary art.
